Senior Research Fellow SRF

This role is ideal for postgraduates in Genetics, Plant Breeding, Biotechnology, or Life Sciences who wish to gain high-level research exposure in crop development (specifically tomatoes). Candidates holding a 4-year professional Bachelor's degree followed by an M.Sc., or those with a 3-year Bachelor's + 2-year Master's degree with a valid NET and research experience, will find this a perfect match.

Candidates without a postgraduate qualification in the specified domains or those holding a 3-year Bachelor's + 2-year Master's degree but lacking both a NET qualification and the 2 years of mandated research experience should not apply. Those looking for long-term, permanent government roles should also avoid this since it is strictly a short-term project-based contract.

ICAR-IARI is India's most prestigious agricultural research institute. Engaging as an SRF here offers immense prestige, exposure to state-of-the-art molecular breeding and hybrid technologies, and acts as an excellent stepping stone for future Ph.D. positions or international research opportunities.
